    Hi WordPressers,

    This is my first post for help, so I don’t know how it’ll go.
    My site itsjosephnorman.com is having major issues. The original sidebar that was included was static, and now I’m trying to make it dynamic so that it can work with the widgets, the trouble is, now that I’ve started to attempt to position it, something has gone wrong. If you visit the site https://www.itsjosephnorman.com , you’ll see that on the right there is a massive empty space, and above the left sidebar is ‘TEST TEXT, TEXT,’ that’s the right sidebar, but it’s not sitting where it should. I’ve played around with the CSS (it’s fine), I’ve even consulted several WordPress developer guides, I can’t see why it’s not aligning to the right, anyway if any of you know how to solve this, or require extra information let me know as I’m keen to get this all sorted quickly.

    Thanks for any help in advance.
    Joseph

  • Yikes, I’ve never seen a WordPress theme with so much absolute positioning! Your new sidebar does not have any styling applied whatsoever. Try adding this to your CSS file:

    #side_right {
    position: absolute;
    right: 34px;
    top: 450px;
    width: 190px;
    }

    the wording test text is not on the side bar it seems to be attached to te file of the banner did you write this into a file some where as it wasnt in the theme before.

    Oh, and if you want the pink bar to appear at the top (like it is on the left sidebar), you’ll need to do this:

    #side_right {
    position: absolute;
    right: 34px;
    top: 450px;
    width: 190px;
    background: url(‘https://itsjosephnorman.com/wp-content/themes/charlottenburg/images/line.gif’) no-repeat;
    padding-top: 12px;
    }
